Accesing the Monumental City by car

The Monumental City of Cáceres was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986 due to its excellent state of preservation and its high concentration of monuments. For this reason, traffic in the Monumental City is restricted by a bollard system and it requires express authorization to enter.
